Académie Suisse


The Académie Suisse was an art school founded by Charles Suisse, and was located at the corner of the Quai des Orfévres and the Boulevard du Palais, in Paris. From Delacroix to Cézanne, most major French artists frequented this place to meet colleagues or to study after the models supplied.

According to Monneret, Charles Suisse was a former model of Jacques-Louis David.
